Yose ben Yochanan [the] leader of Jerusalem says: Let your house be open wide, and paupers should be members of your household, and do not converse excessively with the woman. They said this with regard to one's wife, how much more so [does it apply] with regard to the wife of another. From here the Sages said: Whenever a person converses excessively with the woman, he causes evil to himself, neglects Torah study, and ultimately will inherit Gehinnom.
